The Demon King's Bride The Purple Moon
Serra's POVI was dressed in a white yet almost purple gown that turns black midway. It has sparkles all over, a tulle for the sleeves and many more details. I was never good at describing nor knew of what is what called. I just know it's full of small jewels, shining and it was gorgeous. Where I came from, I always see gown like this worn only by rich people. Though they do not compare to the jewels in this dress, there was the likeness. "You look like a fairy goddess!" Sarah exclaimed when she saw me. "Oh, my priestess!" Eyaren cried, tears in her eyes. "I wouldn't want to let you go."A sweet smile appeared on my mouth. "Oh, you two!" I open my arms wide and they went to hug me. "I am only getting married. Nobody is going to take me away unless someone decides to kill me."Fear crossed Eyaren's face as she stopped unfolding the wrinkles of my gown. It was for a split second and she smiles. "No one will harm you, priestess. No one would dare."My mouth curved into a smile. "I
The Demon King's Bride The New Beginning
Sarah's POVSix long months has passed since the purple moon incident where the Demon King returned on his own with blood in his hands. Nobody spoke, nobody dared ask for the expression on the king's face tells it all. From then on, there was no mention of the priestess.The sky was fairly blue when I started gathering herbs but now it has turned golden red. It was time for me to head back to the castle or Narth will get worried.Though the castle never looked alive, it had became a home to me. Narth was kind enough to take me in. Although, my herb gathering isn't a necessity, I've become accustomed to it. It's one way not to get bored in the big manor."Have you mistaken the sky as dawn, Sarah?" Narth asked while the maids serves us our dinner. "Did you sell out some herbs again?""My apologies, sire. I lost track of the time as I focused on another herb that I believe is in your book.""One in my book?""Yes." I nodded. "I'm yet to show you."He flashed me a smile and then turned t
The Demon King's Bride The Other Realm
Serra's POV"Where have you been, Serra?" asked Meade, one of the Farashas who took me in."I went to the other realm to visit a demon friend. My heart is at peace that I've come to know that she's doing alright.""And the demon King?" "What of the Demon King?" I asked Meade back. "Is there something that I need to know about him, aside from the fact that the past priestess was his bride?"Meade looked down and inhaled deeply before focusing those soft eyes at me. She forced a smile. "Dear, you must be tired. Why not go along and I'll call you for supper."I nodded and excused myself before the Farasha. Ascending the wooden staircase, I knew there was something more than me being the Demon King's bride. They just won't tell me. Asking doesn't help either.Pushing the door close behind me, I went to my desk, motioning my hand and the book on my table opened to where I marked it. I am the new appointed Priestess of the East. My name is Serra and my mission is to take back my land, s
The Demon King's Bride Serra
Serra's POVI waited and waited for the old priest to show his self before me. As he appears from the doors, I plaster a smile to welcome him, his eyes wide like of his servants."Clairra," he called.No matter how much I recall there was nothing significant about him other than the pressure he put Clairra through, sending her happily to her death."Old priest, Heliu," I greeted. "I believe you have not heard of it yet... my name is not Clairra. I am Serra, the new Priestess of the East."All of a sudden, everyone started their little murmurs and the old priest's eyes flickered with anger. "May I remind you that changing your name doesn't remove the fact that you have aban--""You must be deaf, old priest." Everyone gasped. "Clairra never spoke like this to you, did she? She was always kind and respectful. You didn't know but, she traded her life for mine just to save her people. Consider me reincarnated... but ultimately, I am not her and she is not me.""If you are not Clairra then
The Demon King's Bride Again
Serra's POVTwo days. I've been roaming around my land for two days, sleeping in an inn with Mhel as my younger brother. I decided to leave the Farashas and learn more about my land. I have three more days at most to enjoy my freedom. I should make it count. "Mhel, are you coming with me to see that merchant? He said a new stock of elixir will arrive today. We better hurry!" I was done putting my cloak on but Mhel was still lazily laying in bed. "Alright, you stay here and I'll get those elixirs for you too."As I opened the door, Mhel stated, "Summon me when you're lost, my Priestess!"I rolled my eyes and chuckled, closing the door behind me. Breathing the air of the busy street of my land, a smile appeared on my lips. Everything seemed a little better now.The famous store was already filled with guards from the tower and nobles' servants. I don't need these elixirs but they come in handy sometimes. And so I waited in line to get inside.It took about forty five minutes just to s
The Demon King's Bride Chapter I
The red light came and everyone was busy crossing the streets except for one lady who remained to stare at a billboard. At first, you would think she’s just admiring the model but if you can see clearer, she’s actually calculating if it’s a good death if she jumps from there.But on second thought, it will smash her face, her whole body and she’d be remembered by many. She didn’t want that; for the media pestering her death. And so she walks away and saves the thought another time.“Serra! Can’t you make it tonight? There’s no entrance fee for this concert! You just have to make it!” Marmi exclaimed. Serra had to cover her best friend’s mouth and glare before letting go. “Sorry!”“I told you, Marmi, I can’t. I have work later. My bills don’t wait!”Marmi snorted, rolling her eyes at her workaholic Cinderella best friend.“You’re going to miss your teenage life and that’s tragic! Who’s going to marry you? You don’t even have a boyfriend!”“Marmi! Again with you being over dramatic. Ma
The Demon King's Bride Chapter II
“A demon attacked the outskirt of Menna again, my dear priestess! The Demon King’s pawn has gone far beyond our borders once more!” Attari, the commander of the land governed by the monks, priests, and priestesses, reported to Clairra, the highest priestess.“And what remains of the village? You have troops, a priest, what had happened?” Clairra asked, her voice mellow as she performs a prayer.“He appeared before us, my dear priestess!”Finally, Clairra opened her eyes of amber, staring into her the lighted incense but her mind wandered through. The Demon King, stepping inside the light’s territory? He must be mad!“Who else has seen him, Attari?”“The villagers, my priestess.”“Did he harm anyone? Told anyone what reason he has to have stepped inside the sacred land?”Attari took a moment to respond. “The survivors told us he did not harm any of the people but his demons did! He only stared at this tower, like he was looking for something, my priestess.”But he could barely see the
The Demon King's Bride Chapter III
Instantly after hearing her title, Clairra’s guard alerted, and within a second appear her bow and arrow ready to shoot. She was aiming at a tree. At first, you will not see anything in the shadows but long enough, crimson red eyes appeared.“Who are you?” she asked, her voice sturdy like the string she pulls.“I’ve always stared at that tower, wondering what glory it holds to be standing so tall.” His voice was deep and calm, yet there was something in it that Clairra finds alarming. “I asked, who are you not why you were here, demon!” The demon laughed mockingly and jumped down but remained in the shadow of the big tree.“Then I shall call you, human,” he says while stepping into the light. He had such human features that Clairra could not help her eyes widening. Demons can take any form but why is this one so human? Even his eyes weren’t red! He has marble electric blue eyes. Where did the crimson go?“Show me your true form!” She demanded.“True form? Is this not true enough to

The Demon King's Bride Chapter XXII - The Night I Knew
Zeirux POVTwo more night and everything will come to an end. On top of the castle roof, I sat, staring at the vast darkness ahead. There's nothing to see but towering trees. This has always been my view until I decided to visit the land of the humans disguised as one. Everything was monotone until I saw a glimpse of the priestess, her cheeks red from the cold night. Despite it, she remained beaming at everyone and since then she became the definition of breathtaking and life to me.I can't go back on my words just because someone's soul is keeping her body alive. Her soul's death was unjustified and if I could I would've executed all those who have pushed her into bargaining her life.After some time, I noticed the light coming from the priestess' room. My brows knitted together. She is usually with her posse at this hour."Hmm... it's not bad to check on someone," I murmured as I stand and used teleportation magic to get to her. Once I was inside her room, I thought she would hav
The Demon King's Bride Chapter XXI - Purple Moon
After dinner, Serra asked to be alone in her room. The memories of Clairra was like a montage flashing back to her. Although not everything was seen clearly, the feeling was there. Zierux and Clairra was something before she became Clairra. She also recalled how the priestess saw her from the water within that big clamp at the tower and how Clairra waited for the perfect timing. I was isekaid to another world as someone who already existed. I am not a priestess nor am I Clairra, but just a clone."Why would you do this?" Serra whispered under her breath. "I am not powerful like you. I'm just someone who have no idea what of this place.""Of course you've no idea, you're not the priestess!" A feminine voice Serra heard so she turned around. Her pupils dilated to see Marmi. It took her only some seconds to frown and realize, no, this isn't her bestfriend in the real world. Marmi would not wear such revealing clothes but this woman was stunning."Who are you?" Serra asked."I would lik
The Demon King's Bride Chapter XX - Recollection
Serra's POVThe way Zierux treated me is the same as always. It was as if that kiss never happened and he's back to teaching me magic. Though it's better like this, I can't help but wonder what he's feeling."You're not focused enough, human. You're creating wools instead of gems," Zierux commented, his face remaining blank. "Focus so we proceed to another task. We've other things to do.""Like what? Do you have somewhere to be?" I asked with a raised brow."Since when were you curious about my whereabouts?""Since now." I gaze at him, arrogantly. "I dare to know of my future husband's meetings. I would appreciate it if you let me have a say in decision making."Zierux chuckles mockingly. "The spell you casted doesn't go beyond being someone I can't kill."It made me look away, pouting. It seems like we are still not that close for him to bring me wherever he is headed."That's alright." I inhaled deeply and flashed a sly smile. "I'll practice here so you could go and come check me a
The Demon King's Bride Chapter XIX - Bestfriends
Serra's POVI don't know what I was doing but it felt so familiar. His lips on mine were the softest that could brush mine. Why? Why does this feel like home?Regaining my senses was hard to do when I, myself, felt like I had missed this. I needed this. No matter if I was doing it right or not, I wanted its warmth so I returned his kisses. Until we ran out of breath and we stopped, resting our forehead on each other while his hand was still on my cheek.The moment I gaze into his soft eyes, he took a step back and I finally processed what we did. My cheeks were still burning so I looked away. Why did I do that?"I-I..."What do I say? Should I run from him? Should he say something?"Go tend your pet before I lose my mind and take you to my bed," he uttered.With those words, I immediately turned and stride inside. I didn't look back nor slow down until I reached a corner and hid. My legs were weak and so I dramatically fell on my knees.I couldn't see his face because he looked the ot
